Description

[edit]
  • Introduction

This project aims to provide offline Tulu Wikipedia to schools. Tulu has been introduced as a language by Govt of Karnataka in 70 schools of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts of Karnataka State of India. Students studying in 6th to 10th standard have the option of choosing Tulu as a language. There is no printed encyclopaedia in Tulu. Students who have chosen Tulu as a language of study have no encyclopedic book to refer other than the prescribed textbook. Tulu Wikipedia can bridge this gap effectively. Students can read article related to the topics of their study from Tulu Wikipedia. Most schools where Tulu is taught have computers but very few have Internet connection. This project envisages providing offline Wikipedia to those schools where Tulu is taught as a language. This will empower the students studying Tulu as a language with knowledge about their land and culture as well as with the latest world knowledge in their language. This is not the problem of Tulu students alone. Those who want to read encyclopedic content in Tulu have no resources available. Many books of encyclopedic in nature which have content about the rich culture, language, tradition of Tulunadu (Tulu land) are available in Kannada and English but none in Tulu. This project will also help all those who are looking for encyclopedic content in Tulu, be it about Tulu culture, language, tradition or about all other world knowledge in Tulu.

  • What are the Proposed activities?

The aim is to provide students with articles on topics related to the subjects taught as prescribed in their syllabus. A project has been initiated in Tulu Wikipedia with list of articles on various topics based on the school syllabus.

The activities to begin with are (for which this request is being made)-

  • Workshop to explain the project to Tulu writers and editors who will add article to Tulu Wikipedia.
  • Series of editathons to add articles to Tulu Wikipedia.

This project aims to achieve these-
  • Try to achieve the required number of articles created in Tulu Wikipedia.

Discussion

[edit]
@Pavanaja: Thank you for submitting this request. I will forward this request to the team. Also, I have few questions.
  1. How will you promote this project in Tulunadu? And what is the approach of involving college students in series of edit-a-thons?
  2. In each workshop how many articles you targeted to create? --Gopala (CIS-A2K) (talk) 09:00, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Gopala (CIS-A2K): Thanks for the queries. Here are my responses-
  1. We will promote this through social media, radio, local TV channels and newspapers. Since Tulu Sahitya Academy is a collaborator, they also will be promoting in their meetings and through their members.
  2. Most editathons will be conducted at colleges for using computer lab with Internet connections. Students also will be participants in the editathons. Wikipedia Students Associations will be invited to join.
  3. Total articles needed are about 700. Some are already created. We target to complete the required number of articles not just during the editathons, but also after each editathon. We try to make it a continuous effort. We have seen in the past that the tempo is kept alive by regular editathons. Hence editathons are a must. This also due to the fact that some editors don't have access to infrastructure like computer and Internet at home. They will be making maximum use of editathons.--Pavanaja (talk) 02:09, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Pavanaja: Thank you for your response. The goal of this project looks interesting. There are few comments from team. They are,
  1. Do you need any other support from CIS-A2K during edit-a-thons such as trainers, resources etc?
  2. There is an opposition for this request on village pump. How will you solve that.
  3. Who is responsible for implementation and reporting? Also, can you give us execution team (trainers, coordinators) details. Who will prepare metrics for content generation, uploads, new users etc. --Gopala (CIS-A2K) (talk) 07:28, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Gopala (CIS-A2K): Thanks for the additional queries. Here are my responses-
  1. We don't need any trainers. CIS-A2K may support by providing other resources like projector, swags, books (if available), etc.
  2. There is no real opposition. The person who started the project himself has opposed it without giving any logical or scientific reason. I have already answered him in VP itself. He has written that the project has not moved in two years. Yes, we are requesting funds to move and complete the project. That is quite obvious.
Not answering --Lokesha kunchadka (talk) 04:30, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Karavali Wikimedians will be responsible for implementation and reporting. I will create metrics and upload the relevant data. Other key persons will be Dr. Vishwanatha Badikana, Dr. Kisohre Kumar Rai, Bharatesh Alasandemajalu, Dhanalakshmi K T, Vinoda Mamatha Rai. I will be conducting the training supported by Dhanalskhmi K. T. and others. Vishwanatha Badikana and Kishore Kumar Rai will be the coordinators.--Pavanaja (talk) 09:36, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you.@Pavanaja: This request is Approved Approved. We will contact you over Email for further discussion. --Ananth (CIS-A2K) (talk) 08:33, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Description

[edit]
  • Introduction

Coastal Karnataka called as Tulunadu. Tulunadu is one of the cultural regions which is special in many ways. This is a miniature India where different religions and communities co-exist. They relate to the life and culture of the region and are inextricably linked with the tradition and culture of the region. They take us into a complex world of rituals, beliefs, practices, customs, traditions, and entertainment. Therefore, it is imperative to understand their meaning, nature, structure, and subject- matter in order to understand their function in a traditional Tuluva society.

There are millions of people here do not have any written record for their culture and history. Most of them live in a rural area, they belong backward community and even tribe people with very difficult or no access to modern technology. Very few people outside of their community know about, their religious ceremonies, folk dances, rural artisans skills which are very important in the era of skill development. The skill sets they are having in the field of artisanship and herbal medicines and medicinal plants are to be preserved.

  • What are the Proposed activities?

Therefore we would like to record this oral history and culture through reports, photos, and videos, with Text-Performance-Documentation and Reconstruction of folk dance. For that, we want to be in touch with them and persuade them to record the explicit expression of their capabilities. Already we tried to connect with the people but some rituals will be conducted at the auspicious time according to the Tulu calendar in the day or after sunset.So it is imperative on our part to understand and assimilate who is who and where is where in respect of such rituals.

  • Aati Kalenja
  • Sonata Jogi
  • Madira
  • Madimaye Madimal
  • Kanyapu

Examples of culture and history to be documented recently using available resources.

  1. Sidda Vesha Dance
  2. Kori Kambala

The objective for the year project is to record 1000 pictures, 2 hours of videos after montage, and creating an article in multilingual, articles and documentation. The multimedia content (photos and videos) will be published on Wikimedia Commons under a free license.

  • Please let us know who all from the community will be involved in the process of documentation of these Folk Arts.

Thank you @Ananth (CIS-A2K):

Tulu Wikipedians, Kannada Wikipedians, Experts from different folklore, Mangaluru University Evening college - MA Tulu Students and the traditional performers from different communities ---BHARATHESHA ALASANDEMAJALU (talk) 09:11, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please explain why there is a need for hiring an external Photographer when Tulu community is having a good group of Photographers?
Our aim is to capture the finer moments of the art form wherein professional photographers are required , amateurs like us will not be able to capture the spontaneity, mood and rhythm of such folklore arts that are even interwoven with martial arts. Lighting will be always an issue in such places for a naive.
We are not having high quality video camera --BHARATHESHA ALASANDEMAJALU (talk) 09:11, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
These places are away from the city like Belthangadi and Kasaragod. To get connectivity with people of such place at remote locations local guide from those village is required especially to coordinate with them since they are distributed in different walks of their daily chores.--BHARATHESHA ALASANDEMAJALU (talk) 09:11, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Office space for VideoWiki Community Engagement Workshop 2020

[edit]
Approved

Event details

[edit]

Description

[edit]

Background

  • VideoWiki (also known as WikiVideo) (https://videowiki.wmflabs.org/en), a proposed sister site of Wikipedia, under the Wikimedia Foundation, aims to make Wikipedia more accessible by adding a visual component (“summary videos”) to Wikipedia. As the technical development goes on, we would like to now go on with introducing and helping non-English languages communities to use the tool. The power of VideoWiki lies in using for native languages, which have very less video content related crucial topics such as medicine. Since we are the very beginning, we would like to engage with communities in India.

Proposed activities

  • A 3-day training event (24-26 January 2020) will be conducted, to which Wikimedians from 5-6 Indian language Wikimedia communities and also a few Wikimedians local of the venue city (Delhi) will be invited. We will be having one or two online orientation sessions before the main workshop. During the 3-day workshop, participants will be first introduced the vision of VideoWiki and how the project came into being. This will be followed by a training on the VideoWiki tool — participants will be given a complete demonstration of VideoWiki script writing and rendering videos from the scripts.
  • During the initial localisation steps of localisation, technical infrastructure such as templates needs to be setup on the local Wikis. It will be done during the workshop. After working on at least two videos each (during the workshop itself), we will take feedback regarding the working of VideoWiki tool in their language, and pass them to the technical developers. If time permits, we will have more hands-on practice of producing articles. Towards the end of the workshop, we will have conversations with the participants about further expansion in India and collect their thoughts on the strategy we should be adopting.

Expected impact

  • Number of total participants: 10
  • Number of language communities to be represented: 5
